IS is a service that allows to discover information about a network
before connecting to it. This can happen when there is a handoff, but
also at initial network entry. However, the use of IS is not a mobility
step.

Daniel, 802.21 IS NOT a mobility protocol, therefore we cannot compare
802.21 with any other mobility protocol. The fact that 802.21 supports
and simplifies mobility does not mean that 802.21 is a mobility
protocol.
